Uroboros posted:I've been doing Celestra -> Ulthuan > Dragonof Nightshade followed by Ulthuan and White Scar highlights, it just comes off "bleh" not only on the helm but on the crosses if it's just a matter of more layers then that is what I will do, but when I look at the guys in the codex they have that white down perfect. A lot of that is continuous thinning of paints and multiple layers. Liquitex flow aid and/or a retarder medium to keep the paint from drying out can help.

I like that it's taken GW this long to learn the value of merchandising. I can't wait to see the kind of insufferable nerd that wears that commissar coat.

It would be the guy I went to college with who'd wear a Soviet uniform to class and also had a ponytail and goatee. Alternately it'd be good for cosplay stuff I guess.

Woah, you went to Lake Washington Technical College? Wait, that guy didn't actually go to any classes, he just hung out in the cafeteria and played D&D.

I want to see a dude rocking a ponytail, goatee, fake 40k commissar coat, and a utilikilt all at once. Maybe throw in some Doc Martens to complete the look. They would also need to be grossly obese or rail thin. Nothing in between.

The Sex Cannon posted:Go to one convention. You'll see him. I actually went to PAX South recently and was surprised to only see seven utilikilts over three days. One of them was worn by a dude running a station with ten Steel Battalion set-ups though. He's probably worth extra points. I also saw five or six regular kilts, but those don't count in the same way. I've seen more utilikilts at a one-day beerfest in Madison, Wisconsin, but I was trashed so I don't remember the exact count. Step up your game, PAX South.

Should I ever get around to Cosplaying, Yarrick is my first choice. Seems doable without devoting years of my life to a suit of power armor and requires less than grand master artificer level art skill to decorate.

I can't help but to think the commissariat coat looks good. Nothing I'd really spend money on because it'll be expensive as all hell but still cool. The hoodies though are dire and lame and I just voted on the necron one because you had to and it wasn't Tau.

That trench coat looks to be of the quality of a Halloween costume but will likely cost as much as an actual trench coat.

I actually like the Commissar coat only because I like coats like that. I would never buy or wear one, but I like the look of it. The Death Company Motorcycle Club is pretty cool as well, but that Necron Hoodie is really uninspiring.

One of our players sent me that link last night, the best one is the commissar coat but if you just get an actual army surplus coat from WW2 it's probably cheaper. Also my Eldar will be Mymeara, not Biel-Tan so I can get a light blue hoodie for £10 and airbrush dark & medium blue triangles on it, bit of light green gradient and boom, instant custom hoodie. If I were just slightly more nerdy about my 40K I might do that.

I'd really like that BA jacket, but it's got no chance up against the Commisar coat. Just watch as it wins and a million piss-smelling neckbeards start wearing them rain or shine.

I just want to say again that your Dimachaeron is infinitely superior to the actual model. The pose is so much better and it's so much less busy/terrible. Great, great job.

Looking forward to the gigantic surge in commissar cosplayers. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment, and boy these people are gonna be disappointed by the quality, and will disappoint us all by still wearing them. quote:Hell I could wear that Commisar coat to work. If it's not ludicrously expensive (lol who am I kidding this is GW we're talking about) I'll probably nab it. quote:Oh, I do like that Commisar's coat. I mean, greatcoats are part of my everyday dress, and that is a pretty one. quote:Ho Please, for God sake, stop with the Nazi Thing. WW2 have end in 1944, 72 years ago...time to turn the page...stop living in the past. Furthermore, nowdays, lot of people "secretly" love the Nazi stuff but it doesn't mean that they know what it the Nazi ideology nor adhere it. (The limit is of course to wear the Black Svastika on white/red background...) Mango Polo fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Feb 26, 2016 |

GuardianOfAsgaard posted:Cross postin' First off, fantastic base, nice gun coloring to show the heat discoloration, and going the extra mile to put burn marks on the engine exhaust that I was frankly to lazy to do. One criticism, maybe go a little less paint on your brush for your edging, it looks a tad excessive. Also, I like the idea of tucking the company symbol into the Ultima.

Thanks guys. Yeah I know the highlights aren't perfect, I (stupidly) decided to drybrush it which didn't work at all, just made a mess, and so even with much touching up of the maccragge it's not as neat as if I had just edge highlighted like I should have. Oh well!

Oh well! Don't dismiss dry brushing just yet, you just need way less painting on your brush. Working my Stormraven right now I'll post some pics within the next 24 to show before and after base.

Oh well! Drybrushing is great for certain things, but yeah, on Space Marine vehicles I'd just save it for weathering. They really benefit from hard edge highlights. But hey, you're getting better and learning from your mistakes, and honestly it doesn't look bad as-is. Keep it up with those purdy Ultras.
